Governor Tilden's Sister.

The sister of the late Governor Tilden,
of New York, Mrs Mary P. Pelton, died
on Saturday, without ever receiving a cent
of her brothers bequcst. Mrs. Pelton was
rs years of age, and had been enjoying fairly
good health until within the last ten days.
4 special request to the executors to hurry
up the execution of the trust, so that she
might enjoy it during her life time, was
made some time ago and met with no re-
Sponse. Mr.. Andrew Green called upon
Mrs. Pelton short time ago and offered to
loan her some money to meet any pressing
necessities, but Mrs Pelton replied that she
did not care to borrow any money, but
would like 10 have what her brother had
left her Mr. Samuel J. T:iden, Jr.,
called upon the executors d short time ago
and urged them to arrange the trusts of his
Aunt Mary, Aunt Lucy and his mother, all
OF whom were old and somewhat feeble, in
order that the might enjoy their brothers
bcqucsts during their life time. He said:
Never mind about the younger folks; we
can shift for ourselves The old ladies were
very much disappointed to think they have
been treated so shabbily by the executors.
The death of Mrs. Pclton may possibly bring
them to their senses. The friends of the
family say the heirs have been treated by
the executors more as mendicants than as
sisters, nieces and relatives of the dead
statesman and millionaire.

She has seen the practical working of the
system in Wyoming, and pronounces as
absurd the common argument that the
right of suffrage unseXes woman.
At an evening party recently where Mrs.
Carey was giving utterance to these senti-
ments, Senator Wade Hampton blandly in
tcriectcd the remark
But, of course, you always vote as your
husband instructs you?"
Mrs. Carcy's black eyes snapped merrily
as she replied
Indeed we do not. The first time my
husband ran for Office I voted againt him
and my mother supported him. The next
time We both opposed him. In each case
we thought the other man would make the
better officer. l mention this to show you
that in our family, at least, the women use
their right of suffrage about as they please.
Moreover, the comforting Of this power
upon women has good moral effect, es-
pecially upon those whose husbands are
politicians You may believe that where
every woman is permitted to vote the wives
OF politicians are very chary about undaly
criticising the other women. To do so
means the creation of enemies for your
husband, who can work him great injury
if they choose. 1t is 4 powerful cheek
upon the tongue; l assure you. Wash
